Because I'm one to care if the landlord says I can't paint my wall, of course. Actually, come to think of it, the landlord never realized that a brand new apartment sprung up as if by magic...! Or at least that precise thing is why he never tried to tell me I owed rent. It's hard to say. Ah, well.
I think you forget that New York was my home, too. I like the view.
